The Good Place is pure, unfiltered joy that also happens to contain all the ingredients that make it great television. ... The second season maintains The Good Place’s mantle as one of the very best shows on television right now. Read full review

It continues to be a thoughtful consideration of what we owe each other. And it’s also one of the funniest shows on this plane of existence. Read full review

The best show on network television. Michael Schur’s hysterical deconstruction of karma is reaching for new levels of brilliant absurdity in its second season after blowing people’s minds with the twist at the end of the first. Read full review

Yes, The Good Place is strange--also ridiculously inventive, silly, smart and strangely, unexpectedly deep. Read full review

The delicious evil of The Good Place, [is] the hidden detail that makes it such a gem worth picking up in season two. ... The first season finale paved the way for a reboot that takes several episodes to settle in this new season but basically remakes the series into a tongue-in-cheek indictment of the office politics and the ruthlessness of middle management.

The Good Place is very well written, full of good jokes about bees and clowns and clam chowder. But it’s got another layer: it’s also about power dynamics and morality systems--how they shift and mutate depending on how people interact. Read full review

There’s a distinct plan in place, one that opens up all kinds of new narrative ground for the show to explore. Along the way, it gets to pursue the most fascinating questions it set up last season. What does moral growth really mean? Read full review

Beyond just being amazingly original, The Good Place seeks to explain the philosophical origins of western moral values in a digestible and entertaining way. Easily as good as any prestige television drama that I've seen.
